The summer movie season is here, and the worlds of streaming and cinema are kicking into high gear.  

From the East, we’re seeing the spectacular return of a previously-thought concluded anime series, while from the West, we’re witnessing the shaping up of one of the biggest superhero movie events of the year! All this and more in this article.

“Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2” Will Be “Sadder” & “Darker” Than Prequel

It’s here, for better or worse. For those who have not kept up with the world of anime, earlier this May, CD Projekt Red, developers of the hit game “Cyberpunk 2077”, announced that a sequel to the beloved yet gut-wrenching animated spin-off series “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” is finally happening. Now, after months of silence, we’ve finally received an update to this hell of a tear-jerker.

During the Anime Expo 2025 that happened this weekend, Netflix finally gave us an official teaser for “Edgerunners 2” that mashes up clips from the first seasons and blends them with some new imagery that teases what to expect of the new season. Of course, if you haven’t watched the new season, we urge you to skip watching the teasers, as they massively spoil the ending of this incredible series.

We can only speculate as to why the creators would reveal the ending of season one, but if we were to take a guess, it is probably a way to help the audience distance themselves from David and his crew as another protagonist takes centre stage. With that, the sequel will have an entirely new story with “a raw, realistic take on the most dangerous city of the dark future”.

The new season will be directed by Kai Ikarashi, the director for episode six (“Girl on Fire) from the first season. On the other hand, series showrunner and writer Bartosz Sztybot will once again pen the story for season two. In a panel last Friday, the decorated writer said that “I just wanted to make the whole world sad… When people are sad, I’m a bit happy,” with regards to season two. When asked about the 10-episode sequel, he confirmed that it will be “sadder, but it will be also darker, more bloody, and more raw.”

It was also quite a jarring announcement, after it was previously confirmed that “Edgerunners” was meant to be a standalone project — it was never meant to have a sequel. But to see them change course now is quite interesting, to say the least.

There’s no word yet on when “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2” will ever premiere, but it’s safe to say it will follow the same development cycle as the first season and will roughly take one to two years. This is plenty of time for you to catch up if you haven’t watched it already. However, if the first 10 broke you, then it’s best that you book your therapists now, as we might never be the same after follow-up.

David Corenswet’s Take On Snyder & Cavill’s “Man Of Steel”

It’s not a secret at this point that the DC Cinematic Universe has hit one too many rough patches in its attempt to catch up with Marvel’s MCU. So much so that it warranted an entire reboot. Now with the new “Superman” just around the corner, many are making the comparison: which one is better, the darker and more gritty “Man of Steel” by Snyder, or Gunn’s fun-loving and more hopeful incarnation of the character?

Described as one of the darkest takes on the character to date, “Man of Steel” has been a sore subject of debate among movie and Superman fans alike, with many believing that it kickstarted the end of the DCEU right at the beginning of its run. However, with hindsight, some fans have come around to appreciating not only the film, but also Snyder and Cavill as underappreciated artists (yet others remain steadfast in their judgement of the 2013 film).

In a recent interview with GQ, Corenswet addressed an old comment from a previous interview he had with Entertainment Weekly. There, he elaborated on his true feelings about Cavill and Snyder’s work.

“I think that’s the least interesting thing I could have said. Simply because with a great character like Superman, you want great artists and writers and actors to explore all of the possibilities of them,” said Corenswet. “The one way they become boring is if you just keep doing the same thing over and over again. And so, just like Chris Nolan took Batman and did something darker and more grounded with the character, Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill explored a side of Superman that hadn’t been explored on the big screen.”

“So, all I was saying was they’re doing it so well. Whenever they’re finished, I’d love to see the next one go the other way, and let’s see the other side. In the same way, after Chris Nolan’s Batman films and after Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson, there are a lot of people who are like, Where’s our funny, campy, fantastical Batman?”

For those who were unaware of his previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Corenswet previously said that “I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.” Who would have thought that he would make his own wish come true?

Regardless of whether he’s reinterpreted as optimistic, edgy, or campy, Superman has always been, at his very core, a symbol of hope. No matter how difficult the circumstances, he still stands up and does good. He is constantly evolving with the times, and it’s about time we get a more upbeat interpretation of the iconic alien.
